Nigel Farage in a nutshell

If I knew what that meant I would agree or disagree.

 

It's known in mythology as 'to open Pandora's box', meaning to start something, with the noblest intentions or good faith, that will cause many unforeseen problems.

You might otherwise refer to it as ' opening a can of worms'.

That's what we did when we went around the world robbing the inhabitants, forcing them to obey our rules and imposing English.

As with slavery it was a tiny percentage, of the hugely wealthy, who embarked on this and reaped the benefits just as they do now.

The working man barely benefitted from slavery yet we're all paying a hefty price now. Workers in the cotton mills, the mines and the factories were little better off than the slaves. The toffs poked their fat greedy noses into every nation's business and decided which tribes and countries to support or crush. They used poorly paid British soldiers to carry out their work and buried them wherever they fell.

We opened Pandora's box and the plague is starting to reach us now ...

... there's no stopping it, read the fable and you'll see just how frightening and unstoppable it is.

 

Well 1 I don’t believe in Pandora’s box anymore than you believe in jinxes,
I do think it is probably unstoppable though although it can be slowed down.

 

It's mythology ffs

'Pandora's box is a metaphor for something that brings about great troubles or misfortune.'

 

That’s why I don’t believe it ffs

 

I get the point, but how far back do we go to blame the sins of the fathers. Britain itself has been the subject of invasion numerous times, Romans, Angles, Jutes, Saxons, Vikings and Normans.

I hope at some point history is a thing we can learn from. Seems unlikely to be honest as I sit and watch the world go by. We are becoming less human by the year it seems to me.

 

We don't have to go back too far mate, we've only just given back some places, still have Gibraltar, the Falklands, etc.

In any case my point is that it's always been the Eton educated, landed gentry and landowners who've been involved ... just as they are now.

 

Yeah mate, I know. India only the 60s ffs. I get why some remember us a bloody tyrant.

I suppose I just wish people would stop repeating these cycles. It shouldnt be that bloody difficult to respect each other and get along, without cultures being forgotten.

 

It's too late, we're reaping the whirlwind.

We massacared entire nations, shifted thousands from their homes and pillaged their wealth.

We taught them that they must worship the crown because England was the best place on Earth.

We insisted they should learn English, work for the English and speak English ...

... now we're wondering why they choose to come to England.

It's finished, we'll never turn back the tide and this country will become like the places we invaded.
